When you're putting your kids to bed and their prayer at night is 'God, please let Daddy win, sometime,' you know it's getting bad.

No, I want my kids to be Tiger Woods. And Serena Williams. I dig those two.

I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much.

I remember when I was 6 years old and my brother used to go seek out guys that were 13 to come over and play football against me while he was the 'permanent quarterback.' I didn't know exactly what the age difference was, but I was already playing against older guys.

I'm basically a homegrown American.

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.
